I’d say address it in the interview, this would be freeing personally and such forthright honesty may open doors that were not there before....

No, don't withdraw your application. I've stuttered in interviews and still been chosen for the job, but I have also always disclosed that I have a stutter very early in the interview. I've also b...

I try to disclose my stutter as quickly as possible to level the playing field for myself and as to not be perceived as "hestitant" or " undecisive" or " not prepared enough" etc etc. I gotten all the...

I wouldn’t say harder, but I think sometimes our anxiety gets in our way. At least it gets in mine. Sometimes I need to push myself even though I am scared of stuttering and get “the look” from people...

I’m 38 and have never disclosed it and most people have never realised but then end up assuming I have no confidence/don’t understand something properly. I would 100% disclose it and be honest about i...

I once disclosed my stutter days before an interview and the interview got cancelled. Of course they said it was cancelled for another reason but you never know. If you do decide to disclose it, mayb...

Don't put it in your job application. During the interview process, if you feel like your speech will interfere with them getting to know you, then just say you have a speech impediment. It may even c...

I always do and it’s always been well received. If I’m going through HR I’ll tell them first and that I would appreciate if they would relay it to my interviewers. I then mention it at the beginning o...

Yes of course!! You can start off by saying, "Since this is an interview I just want to let you guys know that I am person who stutters, so I might get stuck on a sound or repeat sounds as I speak." ...

I do. It depends on the situation really. You don't have to make a huge deal out of it. Just say something like "I do have a slight stutter so bare with me" or something like that. Having a slight...

In my experience, disclosing the stutter really helps. It takes some pressure off of you first of all. Also, the interviewers will probably respect your bravery for disclosing and use that as a point ...
